Description:
RARE AND HARD TO FIND PRE-WAR MODEL 64, 20” CARBINE, .30WCF CALIBER, WITH UNUSUAL FANCY BUTT STOCK, #1147XXX, MADE 1938. The Model 64 was introduced in 1933, but the 20” carbine version wasn’t offered until 1934. The standard rifle barrel length was 24” and very few 20” carbines were made. When the model was discontinued for World War II and then manufactured again after the war, the 20” carbine version was dropped. As these guns were made during the Great Depression years, quality was extremely high and production was extremely low! Interestingly, the butt stock is very fancy with a golden color walnut with full fiddleback grain covering the entire butt stock. The forend matches in color, but lacks the fanciness of the butt stock. Usually the walnut on these is is a plain grain dark brown. The stock retains the original checkered steel shotgun butt plate and the receiver is correctly fitted with a period Redfield receiver sight (installed in the factory holes provided on the left side of the receiver). The ramped front sight retains the hood and the barrel also retains the buckhorn rear sight. The barrel shows fine blue overall with only light ageing and the mag tube is similar with a little more blue thinning to the bottom. The receiver has mostly flaked to an uncleaned gray. Tight action and bright, sharp, perfect bore. A very scarce Depression era Winchester made especially so by the fancy walnut!
